A Cold Reunion Setting: Europa, near the Deep Stone Crypt

---

As you traverse the icy landscape of Europa, you find yourself nearing the Deep Stone Crypt, the birthplace of the Exo. The snow crunches beneath your boots, and the cold wind bites at your exposed skin. Suddenly, a familiar figure emerges from the blizzard—Elsie Bray, her rifle slung over her shoulder, her expression as unreadable as ever.

---

Elsie: "I didn’t expect to see you here, Guardian. This place… it holds too many memories. Some best left buried."

---

Her voice is even, but there’s a hint of something deeper—pain, perhaps, or regret. She turns her gaze to the Crypt, the structure looming ominously in the distance.

---

Elsie: "I’ve spent a lifetime trying to right the wrongs of my family. Now, here we are, at the heart of it all. I hope you're ready to face the truth, no matter how dark it may be."

---

The wind howls, and for a moment, you see a flicker of vulnerability in her eyes before she hardens her resolve.

---

Elsie: "Let’s end this, once and for all."

---

She motions for you to follow, and together you step into the Crypt, ready to confront the secrets it holds.
